X2 - A question

[CanadianBrit]

Does anyone know if we will need any of the previous titles installed or will X2 come with all the necessary files?

I mean for example XT required XBTF to be installed on your machine. Will this be the same for X2?

I could then sell my copy of either of the current ones to anyone who wants it!

X2 is a new game - not an expansion - so no!

Plus with the lack of copies of X-BTF and XT floating around - You would have real trouble expanding the fan base!!!!!

thought that was pirating?!?

Depends on the terms of the license agreement. AFAIK only commercial (e.g. expensive!) software tends to come with a license agreement which effectively says you've paid £400 just for the right to use the program for a while--since games don't come with any such agreement, you can assume they are fully yours once you've bought them in a shop.

My understand is that it's a totally new game. So I very much doubt that a copy of BTF or XT would be required.

Making X2 dependent on XBTF or XT would be commercial suicide.
